Difficult these days to know if any third-party camera app will work across the plethora of Android models, Camera2 API implementations and lens and sensor configurations but the most configurable one I know is Snap Camera HDR. You'll see the control dial has three preset positions - P1, P2, P3 - each is independently configurable through the set up menus (and the dedicated presets are similarly modifiable). The free trial Play Store version is pretty fully enabled to test for compatibility, but installs the old version 8.7.8, The current paid version 8.10.4 is a substantial upgrade to capabilities, especially to HDR.

Thanks. Especially for going to the trouble of adding links. I'll try it out.

BTW, I could have mentioned that Open Camera and friendly collaborator Hedgecam2 let users save XML settings files that can be quickly restored. The Open Camera Help says

"Save settings - Open Camera supports saving all of its settings to a file, so that you can restore them later. This could potentially be used for saving different profiles or presets. The files are saved inside Android/data/net.sourceforge.opencamera/files/backups/ . Please note that all backup files are removed in Open Camera is uninstalled (or you clear Open Camera's data in your device's Settings/Apps), unless you manually copy them elsewhere."

I've backed up a couple of Hedgecam2 (works better on my phone) configurations this way and saving / restoring is quick and easy - though obviously not like quickly rotating Snap Camera's presets on its dial.
